“COMPETITION LEAVES ROAD AMERICA RED AND GREEN WITH ENVY!”

History books will once again need to be altered thanks to accomplishments from the Rocket Racing Team after this past weekend’s AMA Chevrolet Superbike Championship, hosted by the historical, Road America. A trio of race wins for American Honda’s Miguel Duhamel and a pair of wins for Factory Kawasaki’s Tommy Hayden made for a perfect weekend as these two Rocket Racers refused to share the spoils of victory!

Miguel “The Warrior” Duhamel has again accomplished what no other rider ever has. Accomplishing a unprecedented “three-peat”, #17 raced three races and won them all! Miguel gave the fans a masterful show during two Superbike races and one Formula XTreme race over the AMA Superbike “Doubleheader” weekend. Joining Miguel in the Winner’s Circle after both Superbike races were fellow Rocket Racers Mat Mladin and Jake Zemke, thus adding two more Joe Rocket Superbike podium sweeps to the tally.

Advancing his AMA 600 Supersport winning streak and points lead, the young but thoroughly experienced Tommy “Gun” Hayden proved to be un-stoppable while aboard his Kawasaki ZX-6R motorcycle, riding it to the winner’s circle after a hard fought battle. Doing back-to-back duty, Tommy also rode his Kawasaki ZX-10R motorcycle to within striking distance of the AMA Superstock Championship points lead, winning Sunday’s Superstock race in his typical dominant fashion.

A “Three-peat” by Miguel Duhamel and double wins by Tommy Hayden proves once again that the Joe Rocket brand of protective motorcycle apparel and the Rocket Racing Team is the best in the business! “We are very proud to work with theses riders and their respective teams. Congratulations to all!” said Bruce Parker, Marketing Director of Joe Rocket Sports gear.

The Rocket Racing Team will return to action June 25 – 27 at Brainerd.
